You are repeatedly prompted for your user name and password when you open a FrontPage Web site
This article was previously published under Q296645
When you use Microsoft FrontPage to open an existing Web site on a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) computer, you may be repeatedly prompted to enter a user name and password, even though your logon information is correct.
This behavior occurs if IIS is configured to use Windows Integrated Authentication or Windows NTLM Authentication. These types of authentication are also known as NT Challenge/Response.
To work around this issue, configure IIS to use Basic Authentication instead of Windows Integrated Authentication or Windows NTLM Authentication. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open Internet Services Manager.
- Right-click your Web site, and then click Properties.
- Click the Directory Security tab.
- Under Anonymous access and authentication control, click Edit.
- Click to select the Basic Authentication check box.
- Click to clear the Windows Integrated Authentication check box.
- Click OK.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
